The Denver Zoo Welcomes New - LEGO Animals!

The Denver Zoo is about to get some new guests - 

An award winning traveling Lego exhibit that will include 35+ life sized (in some cases, larger than) Lego sculptures, will be visiting the Denver Zoo. “Nature Connects, Art with LEGO® Bricks,” by Sean Kenney will be on display from August 7th to November 1st.

Be prepared to see a 400lb bee and a hummingbird with an 8' wingspan. As this exhibit will overlap Halloween, you can be sure to also see some Lego bats and spiders too.

Also to add more interest the Denver Zoo is also running a contest through August 31st, to see how many Legos were used to make Leo the Lion. Prizes vary depending on whether you are a Zoo Member or not.
